bendix in '47 cub

ed will · Feb 13, 2017

Hi, I have a '47 Farmall cub. Here's the problem:
When I hit the starter the bendix pushes the starter
pinion into the ring gear and soon as the engine
fires and a lot of times before it fires, it sounds like
the bendix relaxes and the pinion goes back and
the starter just spins. What's up? Ed Will Oliver Bc

Sounds like a bad starter drive.

Remove the starter and using the crank turn the engine ove to inspect all teeth on the flywheel. I would also replace the bendix
